CT2 overview, Hamburg THOR 2012 RCP8.5 hosing experiments Setup and models RCP8.5 over the period Sv distributed around Greenland for the period Four models: EC-Earth, MPI-ESM, HadCM3, IPSLCM5A-LR, BCM2 Hosing relative to 2050 Hosing-RCP8.5

CT2 overview, Hamburg THOR 2012 AMOC response to hosing

CT2 overview, Hamburg THOR 2012 Preliminary conclusions Smaller impact than under historical (and Stouffer et al. 2006) but not negligible: around 1 Sv at 26°N (1.5 Sv for the max) in 40 years. (equivalent to around 0.05 PW decrease at 26°N in HT) Deep convection already ceased south of the GSR (Labrador Sea) in all model by year In the strongly forced experiment (RCP8.5) the deep ocean apears decoupled and the ocean impact of hte hosing is confined to the upper ~ 800m Apparently reduced AMOC sensitivity to GrIS melting in a warming climate!

CT2 overview, Hamburg THOR 2012 Greenland's response and interaction within a fully coupled ice sheet-earth system for the near-future Christian Rodehacke, Miren Vizcaino, Uwe Mikolajewicz ESM: ECHAM6 T63/MPIOM GR15 (T63L47GR15L40) Ice sheet model: mPISM (SIA+SSA) Greenland: Resolution horizontal 10 km, vertical 40 m Ctrl: Control Run for pre-industrial state: pCO 2 =284ppm abrupt: immediate increase to 4xpCO 2 1pct: Gradual pCO 2 increases by1% per year until 4xpCO 2, then constant 1pct_alone: same as 1pct but ice sheet melt water is from Ctrl

CT2 overview, Hamburg THOR 2012 CT2 activities will continue after Thor - joint analysis and publication on the RCP8.5 exercise. - intercation with CT3 on exploiting Thor observations in ocean state estimates and analysis. Note the CT2 multi model data archive of historical and RCP8.5 hosing experiments.
